An IP address is configured on the OOB management interface of each switch. This interface is used to access the SFS web UI, and it is also used as the VLT backup link. Also, it enables console access using SSH as an option to the serial console.
If routing is used on the OOB management network, a management route is also configured.
Note: Configure a unique OOB management IP address on each switch. The IP addresses shown are examples only. Use IP addresses suitable for your environment. The management route should not be 0.0.0.0/0; it may interfere with the data network’s default route. Use a specific destination prefix, as shown.
Run the following commands on each switch:
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address 100.67.76.30/24
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no shutdown
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit
OS10(config)# management route 100.67.0.0/16 100.67.76.254
OS10(config)# end
OS10# write memoryOther global settings may also be configured here, such as ip name-server and ntp server if used by the switch. These settings may also be configured later in the SFS UI but are not required for the deployment example in this guide. The hostname of the switch may be configured at the CLI or in the SFS UI. In this guide, the SFS UI is used.
